Whole Life Pet Treats- Turkey has arrived


Whole Life Pet Treats- Have you heard about them? These are amazing freeze-dried raw meat only treats for pets.

They use only the highest quality human-grade meats in their freeze-dried treats.

The company is based in Pittsfield, MA and the founder truly founded the company on his personal passion to give pets only the best treats. Their meat treats are processed in the same facilities that freeze dry foods for human consumption and therefore are under strict USDA inspection and supervision.

Now they just introduced Turkey treats- They are available in 4 oz and 10 oz. resealable packages.

Why feed freeze-dried treats?

Freeze-drying provides very unique benefits and advantages over other food processing methods. Frozen foods maintain their fresh flavor, but they must remain frozen. Dehydrated and canned foods are shelf-stable, but their high-temperature processing reduces their flavor, texture, color, and nutrients. Freeze-drying combines the best of these methods--it locks in the freshness, color, original shape, texture, and aroma of frozen food while providing the shelf-stable convenience of canned or dehydrated food.

Whole Life pet treats are single meat ingredient treats, so they are all protein- low in calories and high in treat value. They are wonderful training treats!

We were turned on to these delicious treats through a customer that had requested we carry them. We know our cats and dog love them. Personally, I cannot leave them anywhere on a counter because our animals will carry them off!

Cats and dogs both love these.

Thanksgiving Safety Tips for Dogs


‘Tis the season for friends, family and holiday feasts—but also for possible distress for our animal companions. Pets won’t be so thankful if they munch on undercooked turkey or a pet-unfriendly floral arrangement, or if they stumble upon an unattended alcoholic drink.

Check out the following tips from ASPCA experts for a fulfilling Thanksgiving that your pets can enjoy, too.

Talkin’ Turkey
If you decide to feed your pet a little nibble of turkey, make sure it’s boneless and well-cooked. Don't offer her raw or undercooked turkey, which may contain salmonella bacteria.

Sage Advice
Sage can make your Thanksgiving stuffing taste delish, but it and many other herbs contain essential oils and resins that can cause gastrointestinal upset and central nervous system depression to pets if eaten in large quantities. Cats are especially sensitive to the effects of certain essential oils.

No Bread Dough
Don't spoil your pet’s holiday by giving him raw bread dough. According to ASPCA experts, when raw bread dough is ingested, an animal's body heat causes the dough to rise in his stomach. As it expands, the pet may experience vomiting, severe abdominal pain and bloating, which could become a life-threatening emergency, requiring surgery.

Don't Let Them Eat Cake
If you’re baking up Thanksgiving cakes, be sure your pets keep their noses out of the batter, especially if it includes raw eggs—they could contain salmonella bacteria that may lead to food poisoning.

Too Much of a Good Thing
A few small boneless pieces of cooked turkey, a taste of mashed potato or even a lick of pumpkin pie shouldn’t pose a problem. However, don't allow your pets to overindulge, as they could wind up with a case of stomach upset, diarrhea or even worse—an inflammatory condition of the pancreas known as pancreatitis. In fact, it’s best keep pets on their regular diets during the holidays.

A Feast Fit for a Kong
While the humans are chowing down, give your cat and dog their own little feast. Offer them Nylabones or made-for-pet chew bones. Or stuff their usual dinner—perhaps with a few added tidbits of turkey, vegetables (try sweet potato or green beans) and dribbles of gravy—inside a Kong toy. They’ll be happily occupied for awhile, working hard to extract their dinner from the toy.

Afghanistan war hero dog Target mistakenly put down by US pound



THE tawny mixed-shepherd dog that came to be known as Target had survived the treacherous mountains of Afghanistan and seen action on an embattled American base.

She was a veteran of countless fights with other dogs; had been shot in the leg, and lived through a suicide bombing.

But she did not survive a weekend in a dog pound in a quiet suburb of Arizona.

Yesterday Ruth Stalter, the director of Pinal County's Animal Care and Control division, admitted that Target - acclaimed national hero and family pet - had been put down by accident.

"When it comes to euthanising an animal, there are some clear-cut procedures to follow," she said in a statement. "Based on my preliminary investigation, our employee did not follow those procedures."

Sergeant Terry Young, who adopted the dog in Afghanistan, said that his wife and three children were distraught. "The four-year-old is really taking it hard right now," he said. "She's saying we need to get the poison out of her so she can come home. She can't grasp the idea that she's gone."

Sergeant Young was serving as a medic at Dand Patan base, near the Afghanistan border with Pakistan, when he first encountered Target, one of three dogs living wild that were fed by the American soldiers. They named them Rufus, Sasha and Target - the latter because the Afghan men they were training constantly tried to shoot her.

One night in February a man wearing 11kg of explosives stole into the base, pausing for a moment to pray, and headed towards the building that housed the American soldiers. The three dogs attacked the bomber, waking most of the base in the process, and he detonated the explosives in a doorway. Five soldiers were wounded, and Sasha had to be put down, but Target and Rufus survived and were declared heroes. After a fundraising campaign, the dogs were taken to America to live with the families of two men who had served on the base. They became national celebrities.

Target appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, winning the hearts of millions of viewers with her large brown eyes and apparent disregard for the trappings of fame. She was honoured by the Friends of Animal Care and Control of Maricopa County, in a ceremony at the Arizona Biltmore resort, in Phoenix.

Last Friday morning she was reported missing by Sergeant Young. A neighbour found her in the street, and that evening Sergeant Young came across her picture on the pound's website.

He assumed that the shelter would be shut for the weekend - in fact, he could have picked up Target the next morning - but, as he told the Arizona Republic newspaper, he thought: "She's in the pound, at least she's safe."

He returned on Monday morning and filled out the relevant paperwork. A member of staff brought out another dog; he said that it was not his and pulled out a picture of Target.

After an hour he saw a member of staff emerge from the shelter, sobbing. A little later, the director of the centre told him that there had been a mistake.

The short and extraordinary life of Target, hero of Dand Patan military base, was over. The family plans to have the remains cremated.

Resvantage Canine - Longevity Supplement



Supplement Shown To Extend Life In Animal Studies
Written by Alan Gionet
CBS News Denver


Resveratrol has been a sleeper to a lot of people, but positive data just seems to keep coming. Resveratrol seems to turn on an enzyme called, sirtuin 1 that can slow down the aging process. Studies showing whether human life is actually lengthened would take decades, but in every living being tested so far, it does. Many experts are already taking it, noting that resveratrol is well tolerated. "There's no doubt, if you feed an animal this stuff, they're going to get less cancer," says Dr. Robert Sclafani, Chair of the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Department at CU Denver. "What resveratrol does, as we found in our studies, it activates a system that's present in cells but only activates it in cancer cells, not in normal cells ... What it does is it fools the cell into thinking that its DNA is being damaged," says Sclafani, "And then it turns on a response mechanism that now the cell does not divide anymore."

Dog survives Florida Alligator Attack

TAMPA, Fla. — Lizabeth the terrier experienced the canine terror of being dragged underwater in an alligator's jaws — and lived to bark the tale.
The gator wasn't so fortunate.
Tom Martino said he and his Jack Russell terrier were taking their afternoon walk along the Hillsborough River in Tampa on Thursday when he heard splashing — the alligator had snatched the 15-pound dog off riverside rocks and pulled her into the water.
Martino, who has a concealed weapons permit, pulled out his handgun and started shooting at the water around the alligator to frighten it into releasing the dog, he told WFLA-TV.
The 6-foot-4 alligator eventually let her go. Using a rod, Martino was able to rescue his dog, he told WFLA. He then performed CPR on her.
"She coughed up a bunch of water," said Martino, who had never performed CPR on a dog. "I was scared. That's my little baby."
Nine-year-old Lizabeth, who is named after Fred Sanford's deceased wife from the 1970s sitcom "Sanford and Son," is in critical but stable condition and is being cared for at Florida Veterinary ; Veterinarian Miryam Reems told WFLA that the dog suffered bites and lung injuries from being underwater. Before the alligator attack, Lizabeth was being treated for a suppressed immune system. Reems told WFLA the CPR saved Lizabeth's life.
At about 7 p.m. Thursday, a trapper contracted by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission used a treble hook and fish line to capture the alligator, WFLA reported.
Martino took photos of the capture as neighbors watched and news crews filmed the action. The alligator was taped, roped and placed in the back of the trapper's pickup truck.
The animal was declared a nuisance and was to be euthanized, WFLA reported.
"I'm glad he's gone and nobody else got hurt," Martino said
